Interesting Facts about Woodchucks

Woodchucks, also known as groundhogs, are rodents that are native to North America. Specifically, they inhabit certain parts of Alaska, southern Canada, and the central and northeastern regions of the United States. They live in burrows, which are underground tunnels. The burrows are where they sleep, take care of their young, hibernate in the winter, and hide from any danger.

Did you know?

Woodchucks weigh between 6 and 15 pounds. They are about 16 to 26 inches long.

They have two teeth that do not stop growing. In order to keep them from getting too big, they chew on wood to file them down to a comfortable size.

Females give birth to a litter that is born blind and furless. There are two to nine babies in a litter.

Woodchucks are solitary animals, except during mating season and when mothers care for their newborns.

You might have heard this tongue twister: “How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” The keyword in the phrase is “if” because they do not chuck wood at all! The word is said to have come from several Native American tribes that used names for the animal that all sound like “woodchuck.”
